Candlelight Christian Core Curriculum (C4)

C4 consists of studies that help bring that Big Picture into focus. It will touch on a variety of subjects that impact how we live our life in Christ. What do I believe? Why do I believe that and can I defend my beliefs? What does the Bible say about: relationships, marriage, parenting, my job or business, my money, government and political issues, the postmodern world I live in today?

We envision that C4 will give even a new believer a solid foundation on which to build – a good overview of the Bible and how to apply it to the issues that face us each day.

• Dates: Winter/Spring Session begins, Monday, January 17 through May 23^rd
• Place: Candlelight Sanctuary
• Ok to join anytime!
• Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm or 8 pm (see schedule)
• Childcare: Available from Infant to 5^th grade the first three weeks of the Winter/Spring Semester. Thereafter, Trisha in the Children’s Ministry must be contacted by parent(s) no later than Thursday at 4 pm one week in advance if care is needed. Contact Trisha: kids@candlelight.org

CULTURAL APOLOGETICS CLASS

Every Sunday – 6 pm

Sanctuary

DVD studies reveal the alarming state of Christianity today and what the church can do about it.

Proven ideas and the basics of apologetics to affirm the truth of the Bible in our modern age.

Many people both young and old do not hold a Christian worldview because they have not been taught the foundational truths of God’s Word. Dynamic speakers in these DVD series will proclaim the truth and authority of the Bible amid growing compromise, anti-God rhetoric, and secular activism.
